Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Recaps physiology from emergence until delivery, details deformities that occur in emergence, fetal, and perinatal periods from physiology and pathology perspectives. Provides leaning about mechanism of deformities of sensory organs, movement function, and brain/nerve caused by genetic, fetus, mother body, or environmental factors including explanation on disorders that are typically seen. Furthermore, describes pathologic observation on emotional disability at infancy. Also, introduces latest observation on prenatal test, genetic treatment, and ES cell to seek possibility for special needs education and medical treatment for medically fragile child.
 
Class Schedule lesson1 What is pathology of handicapped children? It describes WHO's medical model and disability model, classification of disabilities, and education for children with health impairments in collaboration between institutions in medical, welfare, and education fields.

lesson2 Embryology(Use visual teaching materials :DVD, etc.) Developmental mechanisms(gamete,blastula,embryo,fetus,delivery)

lesson3 Brain anatomy and physiology 3-1 Anatomy(microanatomy:brain,vessel,cerebrospinal fluid),3-2 Histology(neurotransmitter and neural network),3-3 Physiology(mechanisms of movement,perception,emotion,and high-order function)

lesson4 Disorders in central nervous system 4-1 dyskinesia,4-2 sensory disturbance(visual impairment,hearing impairment),4-3 emotional disability

lesson5 Cause of disorder external factor and internal factor

lesson6 Certain conditions originating in the nascent / fetal / perinatal period

lesson7 Major diseases in education for children with health impairments:bronchial asthma,renal disease,leukemia,progressive muscular dystrophy, etc.

lesson8 Specific Chronic Diseases of Children

lesson9 Inborn errors of metabolismⅠ Disorders of amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism

lesson10 Inborn errors of metabolismⅡ lipid metabolism,Disorders of endocrine metabolism and myonephrotic metabolism

lesson11 Typical symptomsⅠ 11-1 Fever,11-2 Malformation

lesson12 Typical symptomsⅡ 12-3 Epilepsy,12-4 Abnormal behavior(Conducted incidents to others, self-injury, etc.)

lesson13 Prenatal diagnosis

lesson14 Current trends of human genome,molecular testing,embryonic stem cell (ES cell)(with visual teaching materials, such as DVD)

lesson15 Medical homecare for children with health impairments
